Parks, open areas and trees

Grass cutting across the borough has now started.

Amenity grass will be cut every 20 working days from April to the end of October. This new cutting regime hopes to bring environmental benefits, for example; increase the time common turf weed like daisies, clover and plantain are in flower which will be beneficial to the pollinating insects; along with bringing more colour to the borough; less cuts also mean less fuel therefore pollutants from the machinery used to cut the grass.

Hedges , trees and bushes causing an obstruction to sight lines on a public highway will be dealt with when reported to us.

Report problems on council owned land such as parks and open areas including issues with grass, hedges and verges. You can also report fallen or damaged trees here.
